The ultimate feeling you get when you first enter is indescribable; amazing to say the least. I, myself, got very spooked down in the basement where Douglas Moore was cut in half by the elevator. In the Mistress's room, there was a shrine set up for her with fresh flowers. How they got there, I have no idea. The room smelled of classy perfume and her window's were open. Later, I came back to take a picture of the shrine as the sun was setting, and only one window remained open. Hm. If you go inside, be sure and write a follow up. There are many interested people! =) I got to tour the baker from top to bottom about 3 years ago. The ultimate feeling you get when you first enter is indescribable; amazing to say the least.

Thanks for stopping by the site. When I went I was alone, so I didn't venture inside. Whether or not it's worth fearing the law or the paranormal is up for debate, but I've spent enough time in that part of Texas to know that rattlesnakes are another matter! If I had somebody to drag my butt to the hospital (or that the very least call 911!) maybe it would have been different. You should check out the photos this guy took: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nkerns/sets/72157604246613706/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/nkerns/sets/72157604246613706/</a> He's got some great shots of the inside!

I recently went to visit my young cousin who is staying down there for college and was blown away by the great amount of history that this small town has to offer. I was instantly drawn to the Baker and although it is closed to the public by the fire marshall it is still not trespassing to enter it. If you get caught you can recieve a citation and up to but not more than 500.00 to me that is a very small price to pay to be able to re live such a wonderful and active past. Did you go inside? My cousin and I are planning a trip there first in the daylight to get to know what it's like and then at night with some bought off the internet paranormal investigation tools. Well if you have time please let me know about more about your experience...and my cousin and I are trying to find a male tag along for protection lol.
